I finally took a dive into The Pitt and I now see where all the accolades came from. Brilliant and intense medical drama, worthy of universal praise. The 8th episode of season 1 absolutely destroyed me as did the start of the following episode.

Good morning. In the past 24 hours, more Americans have Googled “felching” than have searched for “turkey recipes”

MAGA and it's media in meltdown. Love to see it. Writing is on the wall for the midterms next year. It fills me with hope that there is light at the end of this tunnel. I also fear that this will expedite any plans the current admin have to secure the House through voter suppression & shit-fuckery

The Exorcist Hereditary Poltergeist (the original - not the remake) The Blair Witch Project Special mentions to Evil Dead 2 and my favourite film of all time, Aliens (which is more sci-fi action than it is horror IMO).

Alien Earth just keeps getting better. Manipulation everywhere. Each Lost Boy getting compelling and unique narratives. That final scene with Wendy. And goddamn - that sheep scene was brutal perfection. Kill it with 🔥 Hawley's writing is simply flawless.

Ahhh it is that special time of the season where I begrudgingly cheer for my most despised NRL clubs because their victories benefit my team the most heading into the finals. Feels dirty maaannn 🤢

Between the release of Weapons in cinemas and Alien: Earth on streaming less than a week apart, my sci-fi/horror boner is in no danger of receding any time soon.

I am one of maybe thousands of children who learned what perpetual motion is based on the nickname of a famous Rugby League player back in the 80's Can you imagine our societal wealth of wisdom if we also had the Thermal Dynamic Duo and Peter "The Quantum Mechanic" Sterling running out each week?

Over the years I've developed tinnitus from playing in bands & getting worse the older I get. I've started writing music again lately and I always seem to gravitate the scale back to a derivative of C. This morning I worked out that my tinnitus is a C note and it all suddenly makes a lot of sense.

Oh my lord the aesthetic, art style, lighting and animation - all just perfect! Hints of old school Sierra/Lucasarts styled humour. Should have named the game "Made For Ben"

Going into the new Superman film I was completely disinterested and prepared for an absolute mess of a film. Coming out of the film I had done a complete 180. Gunn's biggest challenge was breaking the mould of the legacy DC film aesthetic. It was hopeful, loving and humorous. And it simply worked.

Not sure if an AI referring to itself as "Mechahitler" is better or worse than a SecUnit naming itself "Murderbot".

Just walked out of 28 Years Later (which was excellent by the way) and the first comment overheard from an audience member as I was walking out: "that zombie had a bigger dick than Rob's dad" ...and now I have questions.

Today a friend pointed out an old game dev blog of mine from 15 years ago that I had completely forgotten about. It has sent me down a rabbit hole of revisiting my old projects - many of which never saw the light of day One or two would be amazing to resurrect for a modern market if I had the time

The algorithm keeps feeding me articles about series that Netflix and Prime Video have cancelled - shows I've never heard of. Maybe - just maybe - the problem isn't quality related and more to do with lack of promotional effort and discoverability on the platform? You only get out what you put in.

I'm sorry but until we start seeing these decisions being enforced and the government held accountable in their failure to comply, these rulings aren't worth the paper they are printed on.

Well, shit. That Black Mirror episode "Eulogy" from season 7 absolutely destroyed me. Turned me into a disgusting sobbing mess.

Can we please just ban fake trailers for upcoming films from YouTube? Supremely frustrating to get a minute into watching an "official teaser trailer" before realising all dialogue has been AI generated voiceover and there is no clear plot nor narrative context.
